WE'RE LIVING RESPONSIBLY

As the world’s leading logistics company, it’s our mission to connect people, improving their lives. And because of our size and our importance for global trade, we have a special responsibility. To our employees, society and the environment.

That’s why, as part of our Strategy 2020, corporate responsibility plays a key role in our overall business strategy. We call this “Living Responsibility”. It’s our approach to creating economic, social and environmental value for our stakeholders and the planet. And it drives us towards our goal of becoming a benchmark for responsible business practices. Our commitment to this vision is reflected in three key pillars below.

Thanks to our global reach and presence in almost every country, we’re in a unique position to help with societal needs. As part of our GoTeach program, we cooperate with leading international organizations to improve the education of children and young people. And with GoHelp, we support the UN’s disaster management efforts with comprehensive prevention measures. We help get airports ready for natural disasters with our GARD program, and we offer quick and efficient logistics support in the event of a disaster.

From now until 2050, our mission will be to drive our business toward zero emissions logistics. We are setting the standard for the future of the transport sector and doing our part to help the world community reach its goal of limiting global warming to less than two degrees Celsius.

Mission 2050

By the year 2050 we want to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero – a highly ambitious goal. For this purpose we have set four interim goals to be achieved by the year 2025.

The GoGreen Program

We are committed to minimizing not only our impact on the environment, but yours as well. As green logistics experts, we work to prevent pollution in all of our activities worldwide and help you find ways to operate a greener and more sustainable business. Discover how we run an environmentally sustainable and efficient logistics network and why our GoGreen solutions are both good for the environment and for business.

The DHL Carbon Calculator

The carbon footprint is an important indicator of our impact on the environment. Simply use our carbon calculator tool to calculate your own transport-related emissions. It is completely free of charge, and quickly shows you the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by your shipments.

With our Global Volunteer Day, we encourage employees to devote time and effort to create a positive impact in their communities. In 2015, more than 110,000 DPDHL employees rolled up their sleeves and volunteered over 260,000 hours of their time.
